Oh my. Many would do it for free, but with this much incentive perhaps someone more "skilled" might want to get some skin in the game and expedite results.

Under other circumstances I'd find this kind of effort deplorable, but oh well. I'll label it balance/Newton's 3rd Law and call it a day. When you have these elephants dancing around with billions of lives there tends to be a push back of some kind, sooner or later.

Even if not now, with this specific effort, someday the bill will have to come due to those involved. Just like Hitler managed to get pretty far in his quest to spread suffering but eventually got his comeuppance. A marathon, not a race, as they say.

Been saying it for years. Sadly there are too many at the bottom mesmerized by the elite propaganda telling them "you can also be like me, if you work hard", as if they earned billions that way without any dirty tactics along the way, and despite even with success still needing such tactics to take more and more.

Kudos to you. I don't drink, but I may do my own version of this, and more people should too.

To these so-called "great leaders" who want to leave their idea of a great legacy even if they have to set the world on fire for their ego, few things are more powerful than that ever-present thought that can never go away from the back of their minds:

• "Somewhere there's these many 'insignificant' people just patiently waiting to pop the cork when I bite the dust, and I'll be dead and they'll be celebrating it."

Try as they may to ignore it, their ego will never let it go. And that's good. Let them know in their core that their legacy won't be what they want it to be.

What was he gonna say?

"Oh yes, yes. Mr. Garcia enjoyed the finest torture available in El Salvador, courtesy of me - the self-proclaimed world's best dictator. Everyone's welcome, we have great torturing facilities and the best staff for you and your loved ones. 💝"

Well... If the wife doesn't wake up it might be better to just let her get her much needed rest, as well as enjoy some peace and quiet at long last. Plus the ambulance/coroner visit might not be cheaper than a shovel from home depot.

Don't worry if she starts smelling bad after a few days, it's natural.

As for the cat, figures. With all the chaos they might as well take advantage of the situation and enact their plan to take over mankind as the dominant species.

No one does, judging by the look of that one. 🤫

“You basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f— they’re doing! Do you understand that?”

Yes, we all understood that for a long time, and not just with this conflict - ironic you would say they "don't know what the f- they're doing", though. Who would have thought diplomacy requires more than "I'm the 'big guy', so they'll naturally listen to anything I have to say". Who would have thought these long standing conflicts would require more than saying "let there be peace" to solve.

We all, nameless citizens of the world, have known it for a long time - even though we can't do much about it - about Israel/Iran, about Russia/Ukraine, and so on. While you, toddler living in a golden bubble that you are, have been focusing exclusively on golfing and how to perfect the art of the grift, as well as securing golden parachutes from your grifter friends each time you manage to bankrupt a casino. So now you get to the big chair and think the chair is what gives you power, when in fact it was most of your predecessors' hard work that gave so much power to the POTUS chair. The same power you're now imploding.

Closeted men of war preaching about peace. Closeted gays fighting against gay rights. Judgemental/greedy/racist religious people putting themselves on a pedestal about how you should "take care of thy neighbor".

It's always the ones who preach the most, the same ones doing the exact opposite of what they preach. Always the ones bitching about the bad in the world actively hard at work making the world a shittier place.

Seriously, if Trump says the sky is blue I'll immediately look up just to check if it hasn't turned red/green/pink/whatever.

Be always wary of the ones telling you how to live, and watch out for their actions closely. There's no hate like the 'love' of these hypocrites.

I bet if that was that easy he and most of the administration would already be 6 under, with the increasing amount of people with nothing to lose.

They know what they're doing, they know they're wrong and they're hated. They handpick and filter the crowds through various means.

The only real time someone got an 'honest' shot at Trump was at that fateful rally where a far-right guy suspiciously got to spend hour-plus at a nearby rooftop, completely noticed and without action from security. And then the miraculous 'shot' that granted Trump near-martyrdom as God's chosen representative before his cult. Funny all things considered.

Yup. Just saw it and came back to check if someone had already replied the obvious before I could. Thank you.

What a joke of a justice system. Things are where they are because as slow as Fat Blob Trump is, he's still faster than the law. By the time they finally decide to actually state his actions are illegal it'll be last year's news already, while another judge's order gets paused on the latest scandal of the day.

If the law were any good neither him or his ilk would even get the chance to run a first term. Because many of them would be jailed for all sorts of crimes, and the rest wouldn't dare to act with fear of the consequences. Weak men create hard times.

Lemme guess. He's gonna appeal and another judge will pause this decision while they take their time to review the appeal, because Trump shows daily how deserving he is of the benefit of the doubt.

Meanwhile things keep escalating and people get hurt.

Right?

Keep giving fingers, keep losing arms. Trump relies on shortsightedness to advance, and there's plenty to go around. You falter, he swallows you whole before you can even react. Be cordial, get taken advantage of, like a sucker. 100 out of 100 times. Guaranteed.

Oh no worries. Trump is such a fan of insurrections he hands out pardons by the thousands for them - every single pardon personally signed by him, and totally not by autopen, I'm sure.

Seriously, though. Can't wait for him to cry victim and pull a surprised pikachu when all this pushback to his antagonization makes it to the steps of the White House. Hope he keeps the surprised face until the bitter end, and that end can't come soon enough.

On that I fully agree!

So according to his justification it's "to prevent what happened to Europe". The Europe which heavily aided the US in the retaliatory invasions post 9/11 through NATO's Article 5, also the same Europe that has seen the floods of people fleeing the warzones in hopes of finding asylum, not to mention a large increase in terrorist activity in several of its countries? The Europe that's still dealing with the middle eastern fallout while US sits safe far away with the "big, beautiful ocean" in the middle? That Europe?

Funny. I thought Europe (like NATO) didn't help the US in any way according to them, some countries (cough cough UK cough cough) didn't even see war for the last 40 or 50 years, right?

There's a very special place in hell for the human-shaped plagues who torment mankind at large. A special place fit for certain men with funny mustaches or orange skin.

• Step 1: Claim you want a baby boom.
• Step 2: Step in to remove authority from parents, while replacing them in the 'education' of the new generation.
• Step 3: Enjoy elite life with an entire population of modern slaves who don't know or dream of better.

Vance and co. needs meat for his economic meat grinder when he reaches Trump's age. Trump, egomaniacal as can be, is doing it "for the greater good", whatever it may mean for him.

The US's founding fathers would be proud of how the nation they forcibly took away from the British Empire is being used as a dirty rag against every single democratic value and representation of the individual in a fair society. The very same values which allowed these wannabe kings to rise from peasants who would otherwise have to kneel before the british monarch.

Shameless, to betray the very foundation of the nation that took them and their ancestors in and allowed them to prosper, to be able to enjoy the "american dream" they so want to deny others.

Nope, it has a protective case all around.

Right, plus car keys.

Console gamer here as well, though with a PC and redeeming my weekly Epic Games since a few years back. I sometimes play on my PC, but mostly games I don't have on my console.

Most of what I hear I believe it's mostly due to the Epic Launcher being quite a bit behind standard, and the store not having great costumer service policies. I think Epic's games with timed exclusivity don't garner a lot of respect from the gaming community either, as they rather have freedom of choice to purchase their games on their main storefront.

Now, I think it'll be obvious, but all of what I mentioned is further impacted by the comparison between Epic (or most other launchers, really) and Steam. Steam might as well be called the "default launcher" at this point, and naturally not everyone can compete (or they don't want to) with the numerous and consistently good business decisions Steam tends to have, which keeps it in the top.

Not only that, and even though I still benefit from it, I'd say Epic's strategy of offering weekly free games might feel like a sort of 'obvious bribe' to some, a cheap way to try and vainly make gamers turn on their main competitor. Which isn't really moving the needle that much, because gamers preference for Steam isn't due to free games, but good and consumer-oriented business practices.

I'm sure from gamer to gamer there's more depth to this, but I'd say that's the gist of it.
